Leaked classified documents have sparked an investigation in the United States after they revealed Western special forces operating on the ground in Ukraine. The Pentagon is assessing the national security risk posed by the leak of the documents, which were posted online. The documents include information about Russia’s involvement in the conflict and details of Ukrainian military operations.
Analysts have criticized the leak and pointed out that it highlights the need for more robust security measures around the handling of classified information.
The leak has alarmed those monitoring the situation in Ukraine, but some observers say that the revelations are not surprising, given the ongoing conflict in the region. The Washington Post published an op-ed stating that the leak underscores the need for greater transparency around U.S. foreign policy.
The investigation into the leak is ongoing, and authorities are working to identify the source of the documents.
